Hi John. Great vid. I almost bought 4 of the 124016 before I came across your site. Do you have any idea when you will receive the upgraded version? I'm going to hold off until I see reviews of the upgraded version. Am curious to know if they are using a new motor mount as their video shows installing new motor with a 19T pinion without any modifications. Keep up the good work

Good morning. I am glad you did not buy 4 of the 124016 in its current state. You would have been really disappointed. The version 2.0 has been sent out but when it will arrive I am afraid I do not know. As soon as I receive it, I will put the version 1 up against version 2! 😊👌 Sorry for the late reply. 😧

I just spent $160 on a new 124016 and got the version 1. I’m so disappointed that they are still selling v1. I even asked the eBay seller Helidirect and he said he just got them in a month ago. It was for my son too :-(
@JohnRobinsonRC

No no! That is wrong! That is a defective product. Contact ebay and inform them that due to it being defective that the company made a fixed version 2 and get your money back! Terrible they are still selling them and make sure to give helidirect bad feedback.

Hey john i got a question, i got a brushless kit for my wltoys 144001 and it has the worst cogging problem ever. What sensorless motor would fit in it? Id like to try the motor before the esc to see if its just that. And also what about a servo? The one that came with the kit is trash. Its been sitting around for too long and i just need help from someone thats not a complete ass. Thank you for your videos!

maan that's terrible to see that cogging and transmitter problem over and over on these models, wltoys should never have released these brushless models before extensive testing however good to read that they are "upgrading" or amending with next same version buggy+ 124017.proof will be in the pudding so to speak..should be a recall on the old models in my opinion...thank's for the comparison John.

I did have communication with them but they deliberately sent a 144001 out just before prerelease of the promised 104001 and then they started getting funny with me. It's a shame as you say because they desperately need external testers. Their brushed models are fine. Brushless has been a disaster and considering their size of company, there is no excuses..... Money talks more than customer service but its so narrow minded. I have gotten so many messages here and privately on Facebook saying they will never buy another wltoys again. Quite Frankly I understand why.
